I'd take that cloth around the neck off. I bet she is scratched from those pins -- that is too bad.

Besides, I am dealing on a Free Treadle (made by Free, not free to get it) so I want to get that treadle before I tell him about the white FW. As soon as I get the Free treadle nicely tucked away in this house I will show him the white FW. A white FW is one machine he will notice -- it doesn't blend in!

Congrats on your white FW and the Free machine.

Heehee, Now you are going to get me to reveal my name, but I guess my pseudo avatar name just will not do. So, you get to name the FW -Monica. One day we will all have to meet for coffee or tea somewhere around where Penni lives, or some half way point. Too bad we can't drag all of our vintage machines with us to show them off. But you can bring your white FW. I would like to see that, along with a quilt or two.

Randa, Congrats on your 15-91. You should take that cloth off and replace it with a fabric that has a quilting or sewing machine pattern to it. Find some pretty beads that will fit on a safety pin and use that decorative safety pin to hold the new fabric in place.
